Wonderful. Will most definietly be back.
Pros:

I loved the location. Only a 15-minute walk to the city centre and the University. I loved how cozy my room was as well. I also loved that there were tea and coffee provisions already available in the room.

Cons:

The only concern I had was the floor creaking when I walked. I sometimes thought the noise could be heard from the outside. But other than that, the service was excellent. The place was quiet for the 2 days I was there and most importantly clean.

Residenza elegante e comoda a Glasgow
Pros:

Struttura situata in posizione strategica all’interno di un quartiere tranquillo e silenzioso a due passi dal Giardino Botanico di Glasgow. Camera molto pulita e completa di ogni confort (anche tavolino con scrivania) con una grande finestra che si affacciava su un elegante giardino interno, dotata di bagno nuovo (doccia splendida). Una nota riguardante i parcheggi: accedendo con auto grandi (*non noi con la nostra Opel/Vauxall Mokka) si potrebbe fare un po’ di fatica a causa della stretta strada di accesso

The accommodation could be improved in terms of cleanliness and overall condition.
Pros:

Excellent location enables walking distance to center of the west end and to the university of glasgow

Cons:

Some of the facilities feel quite dated, particularly the carpets, which are visibly stained. At the very least, I think the carpets would benefit from a thorough professional cleaning. The duvet and pillows also seemed quite old and could ideally be replaced with newer ones.
